GREENWICH — Two tenants of a Cos Cob plaza drawing fire over garbage said they’re being blamed for their landlord’s project.

“I understand how these things can take on a life of their own, but we never intended to incite that,” said Ryan Fibiger, owner of Fleishers Craft Butchery. “It was presented in a very binary way, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Immediately it was like us vs. them.”

A proposal before the Planning and Zoning Commission to move a couple dumpsters behind the butchery and Fjord Fish Market to space across the parking lot has sparked heated comments from Cos Cob residents at the last P&Z meetings.
